Before anyone jumps down my throat, let me preface this question by saying that as a railfan and rail advocate, I enjoy learning the why not as much as the why, and I'm simply trying to understand the reasonings and such behind current operations.
Now with that, let me ask, why does SEPTA not use the lower level of 30th st. station? With 9 tracks to SEPTA's 6, I can't imagine Amtrak is in anyway crowded down there even with NJT's Atlantic City line sharing space. How crowded is SEPTA on the upper level anyways? Would they even consider serving 30th st. and not the other Center City stations?
